[syslinux] PXELinux over Ris server

[lionel.michaut at itc.alstom.com]

Having the same trouble that Mark (
http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/syslinux/2002-March/000244.html)
had over a test platform I have here. Having a redhat 7.3 with dhcp
V3.0rc12 and atftp (0.6.2) on a local
small hub and a W2k Server with RIS installed.

If I stop binlsvc on nt server my network boot run ok to pxelinux,
but as soon as binlsvc is started, RIS server always respond over
my local network (dhcp and dns stopped on nt server)

Try to use option vendor-class-identifier "PXEClient" or next-server
option to route to the correct tftp-server, but does not work !

Is there something special to set with mcast_adrr parameter ?
What does signify  address range: 239.255.0.0-255 for multicast ?

Thanks for your help.
